When you play a game for so long that it isn't as appealing as it used to be when you first started, and you yearn for that past claiming "It was better" when really, you want to relive the feeling of discovery.
Gamer 1: Dude, I miss the old TF2. It was sooo much better!
Gamer 2: Nah, you just miss the past. It's The Nostalgia Effect, man.

When a Fictional Character becomes so popular in a series, that the writers are forced to keep them alive until their popularity dies down within the Fan Base.
Man 1: I wish they'd hurry up and kill off Castiel!
Man 2: Sorry, but the Daryl Effect prevents that from happening!

*Posts actually decent dancing video
“Nice moves” “Huehuehue what a simp!”
Ex. “POV: you’re trying to hard to be famous”
*video proceeds to not include an actual POV shot
“Where was the POV?” “There wasn’t one. That’s the TikTok effect”

Named after our so called cause “Danisha” (or Dani for short). “The Dani Effect” is when you meet up with someone on discord after only talking for a few days. Those little talks will somehow become “BF/GF” material and your life will spiral out of control. Most of the time one of the sides featuring in this “relationship” will either be completely uninterested or completely heels over head, there’s no in-between.

The unnecessary delay a Police Officer takes before lawfully taking someone's life. An unnecessary delay that puts an officer in grave danger himself because he is fearful of unjust criticism and scrutiny from the media, critics, citizens, celebrities and politicians, etc. The fear a Police Officer experiences for being wrongly accused of being a racist in a fatal shooting.
That cop almost got wasted because of the Ferguson Effect waiting too long to shoot Jimmy Jones fearing he would be called a racist.
